Auburn commit Eli Stove may be quiet, but his 'explosive' ability speaks volumes

Eli Stove doesn't say much.

The four-star wide receiver prospect who committed to Auburn May 30 is polite and respectful during interviews, but is often reserved when it comes to questions surrounding his recruitment.

"He's quiet and humble," said John Hicks, Stove's head coach at Niceville High in Florida. "I think a lot of that comes from his parents, they keep him pretty well grounded."

When asked to describe Stove's play on the field, Hicks went with a completely opposite adjective: "explosive."

Stove reeled in 54 passes for 719 yards and 10 touchdowns as a junior in 2014 and also excelled at cornerback.
